Stair refinish at front entrance Matt was great to deal with along with his crew, Danny and his partner. After a little miscommunication, they very promptly made things right and left us very satisfied customers.

I’ve had a great experience working with the owner Matt Gaines. From the beginning, Matt has made me feel extremely comfortable as we’ve talked through several flooring projects I’m considering for my home. He’s knowledgeable, easy to work with, and most importantly, very honest and transparent. I especially appreciated his approach when discussing garage epoxy flooring. His estimate was very fair compared with other flooring companies I spoke with, and I never felt like I was being oversold or pressured into anything. Matt took the time to walk me through my options and gave me straightforward advice about what made the most sense. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone considering a flooring project. It’s refreshing to work with someone who is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely focused on doing what’s right for the customer.

Through Thumbtack I got to contact Footprints Floors. My floor was in bad shape. Matt promised the refinishing will be done in one day. Two men worked 8 hours and did an incredible job. We could walk on it the next night. I’m very pleased with their work.

FAQs

Footprints Floors specializes in expert flooring installation, no matter the material. Our skilled contractors have ample experience with hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, engineered wood, and more.

You can trust us with any flooring project, big or small. Just let us know your home improvement vision, and we’re here to deliver impeccable workmanship every time.

The best flooring for your home will depend on the size of the space, your lifestyle needs, and your personal style preferences. High-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens may benefit from water-resistant options like vinyl or tile, while bedrooms may feel more inviting with the warmth and character of hardwood.

The function of the room is also very important. Families with pets or children may prioritize a material with easy upkeep, maintenance, and stain resistance. We are happy to guide homeowners through these decisions by assessing the space and recommending flooring solutions.

Flooring installation timelines vary based on the size of your project, the type of flooring, and the condition of the subfloor. Generally, smaller rooms can be completed within a day or two, while larger or more complex projects, such as multi-room installations or custom patterns, may take up to a week.

Preparation work, like removing old flooring and repairing the subfloor, can add time to the project. When you sign onto a project with us, we provide clear timelines during the initial consultation so you know what to expect.

Flooring installation with Footprints Floors starts with a complimentary in-home consultation and free estimate. After we help you decide the best flooring type for your space, you’ll find and purchase the necessary amount of material.

We begin the project by prepping the installation space, removing existing flooring, and cleaning the subfloor thoroughly. Any necessary repairs or leveling will be completed to create a stable foundation.

The flooring will then be installed along with any baseboards, trim, or sealants. When our install team is finished, they will clean up, leaving your home as it was before the project began.

Choosing the right flooring contractor for your project will save you time, money, and stress. Look for contractors with a strong local reputation, verified licenses, and insurance coverage. Reviewing examples of past work and customer testimonials is a great way to check for reliability.

Be clear about your budget and timeline, and choose contractors like Footprints Floors who communicate openly and provide free estimates before starting the job.

Yes, all contractors working on our team are fully licensed and insured for flooring installation. They undergo specialized training and are committed to professionalism.
